Trumbull – Guion Christmas Card – 1963 – City Trust Company

 

A Christmas “Gift of Money” Envelope

In this joyous season, along with jolly Santa clauses, gaily bedecked Christmas trees, resplendent Reeves of for her and Holly, holiday lighting on streets and in stores, the banks and a practical touch with their ‘Christmas Clubs’.

In a grandfather’s eyes there is a more idealistic and personal form of Christmas club which far transcends the dollars and cents variety.

In my greeting to you this year, tying the two together is my way of proudly displaying the ‘decorations’that make this season a 20-fold (count ’em) blessing to me.

To a valued friend like yourself I am hoping some of my reverent appreciation will carry over to you in a generous share of Christmas good-will that thoughts of you always bring to mind.

Sincerely,

Al Guion

This one is me.

This is the picture of the Guion House in New Rochelle that Grandpa used on these  Guion Home Development Bank & Trust Bills used for his 1963 Christmas Card.  This picture of the Guion House was used by J. Marshall Guion IV  in his “The Descendants of Louis Guion, Equyer, A Guion Family History. 

The Guion Coat of Arms Grandpa used for this Christmas Card. It is different from the one that J Marshall Guion IV used in his book mentioned above. I don’t know where this one came from. I believe different members of the same family could have different Coats of Arms, distinguishing them from relatives.There actually may be quite a few Guion Coats of Arms.

 

Tomorrow, the last Christmas Card from Grandpa along with a Final Message he had prepared in advance.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, I’ll post Special Pictures.
